Squawks of the Parrot

Some days ya gotta wonder...

I dunno, I just wonder some times about people's abilities to read. I really, really do.

It looks like yet another one of those "Everyone can have a webpage that makes the old geocities stuff look downright professional!" web hosts has found the background directory on the server here. (http://www.sidhe.org/backgrounds/ if you really care. I certainly don't) This time around it's myspace. Last time it was xanga, and I lose track back before that.

The index page is clearly tagged at the top with "make a local copy of anything you want and do not link to images on sidhe.org because I will fsck with you" and yet... still they link. And linking gets them this image: which is undoubtedly not the image they're looking for. (And if it is they oughta use the bare link and save me the hassle of putting in the redirect. If you want to use that image then go for it, good luck, you're welcome to my bandwidth for that one. Oh, and I suggest that you try not using white text, 'kay?)

Mostly it looks to be teenage girls and who knows, given how popular yaoi stuff is with 'em maybe it's what they want. Somehow I'm thinking the punk/metal skater dudes are probably looking for something else. (And again, if they're not, well... dark text, guys, it works better)

Ah, well, I suppose it gives me a chance to help make people's web surfing experience just a little more surreal.
